TL;DR: An alternative method for improving the interfacial and tensile properties of carbon fiber composites by controlling the fiber-matrix interface was developed and such multiscale reinforced composites show great potential with their improved mechanical performance to be likely applied in the aerospace and automotive industries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile approach to fabricate graphene oxide reinforced epoxy resin nanocomposites was developed by transferring GO from water to acetone, which showed significant improvements in flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, and storage modulus.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and facile route has been developed to prepare graphene oxide reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites and synthesize simultaneously PA6 grafted GO hybrid materials: e-caprolactam (CL) was firstly fixed onto the GO sheets coupling by 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate), and then PA6 was grafted from the GO surface by in situ anionic ring-opening polymerization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel phosphazene cyclomatrix network polymer poly(cyclotriphosphazene- co - pentaerythritol) (PCPP) was synthesized and characterized based on an attempt to look for a high efficient and green intumescent flame retardant.

TL;DR: Experiments proved that the high current-carrying capacity of microscale nanotube array samples improved to 10(6) A cm(-2) due to increased heat dissipation through the substrate, and a finite-element model based on Joule heating and heat convection was used to explain this relationship.
